The Letter of Siluanús to his bio-son 5

My son, do not allow your Mind [~spirit of Truth] to stare downward, but rather, let it look by means of the Light at things above. For the Light will always come from above. Even if it (the Mind) is upon the earth, let it seek to pursue the things above. EnLighten your Mind with the Light of the heavens, so that you may turn towards the Light of the heavens. Do not tire of knocking on the door of reason [~logic], and do not cease walking in The Way of the Anointed Yâhuwshúa. Walk in It so that you may receive rest from your labors. If you walk in another way, there will be no profit in it. For also those who walk in the broad way will go down at their end to the perdition of the mire. For the Underworld (Sh’ówl) is open wide for the self (néphesh), and the place of the father of the sovereign (’avadówn) [~sâţâ ́n] is broad. Accept the Anointed Yâhuwshúa, the narrow Way. For He is oppressed for your error and bears the affliction.

Oh self (néphesh), persistent one, in what non-acknowledgment you exist! For Who is your Guide in the darkness? How many likenesses did the Anointed Yâhuwshúa take on because of you? Although He was Yâ-hwéh, He was found among men as a man. He descended to the Underworld (Sh’ówl). He released the children from death. They were in suffering, as the scripture of Yâ-hwéh has said. And He sealed up the (very) heart of it (the Underworld (Sh’ówl)) and He broke its (Sh’ówl's) strong bows completely. And when all the powers had seen Him, they fled, so that He might bring you, oh wretched [~disfavored] one, up from the abyss [1 Moshéh 2:2, 2 Moshéh 20:11], and might die for you as a Ransom for your error. He saved you from the strong hand of the Underworld (Sh’ówl). But you, yourself, though it be difficult give to Him your fundamental assent with (even so much as) a hint that He may take you up with joy! Now the fundamental choice, which is humility of heart, is the gift of the Anointed Yâhuwshúa. A contrite heart is the acceptable offering. If you humble yourself, you will be greatly exalted; and if you exalt yourself, you will be exceedingly humbled.

My son, guard yourself against the wickedness, [ZkharYâ ́hu 5:3-11, 2 Thessaloníkeans 2:10], and do not let the spirit of the wickedness cast you down into the abyss. For he is mad and bitter [Howshë ́a 9:7]. He is terrifying, and he casts everyone down into a pit of mire. It is a great and good thing not to love fornication [~sexual error], and not even to think of the wretched matter at all, for to think of it is death. It is not good for any man to fall into death. For a self (néphesh) which has been found in death will be without reason [~logic]. For it is better not to live than to acquire an animal's life. Protect yourself, lest you are burned by the fires of fornication [~sexual error]. For many who are submerged in fire are its servants, whom you do not recognize as your enemies. Oh my son, strip off the old garment of fornication [~sexual error], and put on the Garment which is clean and shining, that you may be beautiful in it. But when you have this Garment, protect it well! Release yourself from every bond, so that you may acquire freedom. If you cast out of yourself the desire whose strategies are many, you will release yourself from the errors of desire.

Listen, oh self (néphesh), to my advice. Do not become a den of foxes and snakes, nor a hole of serpents and asps, nor a dwelling place of lions, or a place of refuge of basilisk-snakes [~harbor archon parasites]. When these things happen to you, oh self (néphesh), what will you do? For these are the powers of the adversary. Everything which is dead will come into you through them (the powers). For their food is everything which is dead, and every unclean thing. For when these are within you, what living thing will come into you? The living envoys will detest you. You were a capacitor (12) ("temple"), but you have made yourself a tomb. Cease being a tomb, and become again a capacitor ("temple"), so that uprightness and the Power may remain in you. Light the Light within you. Do not extinguish it! Certainly, no one lights a lamp for wild beasts or their young. Raise your dead [~Guardians] who have died, for they lived and have died for you. Give them life. They shall live again! For the Tree of Life is the Anointed Yâhuwshúa`: He is the Wisdom. Because He is the Wisdom, He is also the Word [Yâhuwshúa]. He is the Life, the Power, and the Door. He is the Light, the Envoy, and the good Pastor. Entrust yourself to this One Who became all for your sake. Knock on yourself as upon a door, and walk upon yourself as on a straight road [~spiritual alignment to Him]. For if you walk on The Way, it is impossible for you to go astray. And if you knock with this One (Wisdom), you knock on hidden treasures. For since He (the Anointed Yâhuwshúa) is the Wisdom, He makes the senseless man wise. He (Yâhuwshúa) is a pure Kingdom and a shining Robe [the Garment]. For it [the Garment] is much gold, which gives you great honor. The Wisdom of Yâ-hwéh became a type of senselessness for you, so that it might take you up, oh senseless one, and make you a wise man. And the Life died for you when He was Powerless, so that through His death, He might give Life to you who have died.

(12) Strong's 01964 is generally traditionally translated by the establishment as "Temple", but it has this forgotten different meaning, arrived at examining the term, and it refers to the Personhood of Yâ-hwéh, or one in whom He may reside, NOT a physical building made by hands in which He would not stoop to reside.
